The finalists for the Globe Soccer Awards 2025 are now known: Ousmane Dembélé, Kylian Mbappé, Raphinha, Vitinha and Lamine Yamal. Since the start of the 2025-2026 season, Mbappé has particularly stood out with already 28 goals in 23 matches in all competitions, taking advantage in particular of the long absence of Dembélé, still far from having returned to his best level. Despite everything, Dembélé remains the big favorite after an exceptional year crowned by his Ballon d’Or and the FIFA The Best 2025 trophy and 6 trophies in 2025: the Champions League, Ligue 1, the Coupe de France, the Champions Trophy, the Intercontinental Cup and the European Super Cup.
Vitinha is also among the candidates thanks to an exceptional year with PSG, as well as with Portugal, marked by victory in the Nations League and a memorable hat-trick against Tottenham in the Champions League. The top 5 is completed by Raphinha and Lamine Yamal, both authors of a remarkable season with Barça, Yamal having logically finished second in the last Ballon d’Or. The Globe Soccer Awards ceremony will be held on December 28, and the suspense remains as to the awarding of the prestigious prize.
